Who are Epstein-linked ‘perpetrators’? US lawmaker names names
Representative Thomas Massie is campaigning for the full release of files related to the late financier and sex-trafficker to the global elite
A US lawmaker, Representative Thomas Massie, has identified prominent individuals associated with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein in an effort to compel the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release government documents related to Epstein and his associates. Massie believes that the Trump administration is attempting to conceal information about Epstein's associates and is pushing for a legislative amendment to bolster the recently enacted Epstein Files Transparency Act.
During a recent address on the House floor, Massie accused the government of withholding over three million files and named several known Epstein associates. He stated, "We want perpetrators of these crimes to be investigated and prosecuted," before proceeding to list the names of these individuals, hoping that public disclosure would spur the DOJ into action.
Massie is contemplating running for a House seat in Kentucky in 2028, following his loss in the 2026 Republican primary to the pro-Trump candidate, Ed Gallrein. Massie's political career has been marked by financial backing from pro-Israel groups and a significant rift with Trump, stemming from disagreements over the Epstein scandal, the Iran war, and substantial tax cuts enacted last year.
